Dutch at The Bike Shed is organising this thing in London on September 30. Go to his site for more details. In the meantime, he says...
'The Distinguished Gentleman's Suit Ride idea started with the Sydney Cafe Racers - Mark Hawwa and Rex Havoc of Garage
Project Motorcycles.
What I can say is that when Rex asked if I'd help organise the UK/London side of it on the same day, I had an instant vision of how cool it would look to see a bunch of guys in sharp suits on cool bikes riding in a posse thru Central London and ending up somewhere notable for food and drinks…
The mix of dirty ol' bikes with smart suits, unshaven faces of grown men in pisspot lids on brat style customs, flat trackers and cafe racers, cruising through town and turning heads.'
UPDATE: The idea is for this to happen at locations all over the world on the same day, including Italy and Australia. Check the The Distinguished Gentleman's Suit Ride for more details.
Absolutely spiffing idea old boy, only wish I was currently residing in old London Town to take stylish advantage of such a top hole concept, eh what.
